tvN has shared a sneak peek of its upcoming historical drama “ The Queen Who Crowns ”! On November 28, “The Queen Who Crowns” revealed photos of its cast members at the script reading held last September. Director Kim Sang Ho, writer Lee Young Mi, and cast members Cha Joo Young , Lee Hyun Wook , Lee Yi Dam, Lee Si Ah, Choi Deok Moon, Park Yong Woo , Han Seung Won, Kim Woo Dam, Park Ji Il , So Hee Jung , Jung Eui Soon, Kim Jung, Song Jae Ryong, and Hwang Young Hee were in attendance. “The Queen Who Crowns” tells the story about the fiery life of Queen Won Kyung, a kingmaker who dreamed of a new world in the early Joseon Dynasty and made her husband Lee Bang Won a king with whom she shared the power of the throne.
Although she was recorded in historical records only as “King Taejong’s wife” or “Mrs. Min” without her full name, the drama sheds light on Queen Won Kyung, who lived an independent life without losing herself despite devastating betrayals and harsh reality. Cha Joo Young takes on the role of Queen Won Kyung, making her first foray into historical dramas.
She deeply immersed herself in the character from her first line, portraying a queen who dreamed of a new world. The production team noted that the actress brought to life the multifaceted nature of a resolute and strong-willed woman with a calm yet dignified manner of speaking and charismatic eyes. Lee Hyun Wook plays Taejong Lee Bang Won, the third king of Joseon and the man who bears the weig.
